The day after an attack on a Quebec mosque that killed six people, a father called Attorney General Yasir Naqvi’s community office and asked if it was safe to send his son to school.

“That’s fear,” said Naqvi Thursday morning, just a few hours before Ontario MPPs passed a Liberal member’s motion condemning Islamophobia.

“That’s not the society we live in. That’s not the society we’re building. Parents should not be fearful for a nanosecond (about) whether they should send their children to school because of their faith.
